    Default Good looking, safe substrate?

    Hello everyone.

    Im getting some green tree frogs (whites tree frog) and i don't know what substrate i should use.

    I don't want to use pebbles because they can be swallowed.
    I don't really like sphagnum moss because it is all separate peaces and can be swallowed.

    Coconut husk looks good but im not sure if the frogs will eat them?

    Id prefer moss but anything that looks green or similar to coconut husk is good.

    What im going to do is have a few inches of clay aggregate, cover it with some mesh and then put some moss or whatever on top.

    Thanks guys!

    Live frog moss is great stuff... it can stand up to almost anything, does well under moderate lighting and humidity from 60-100%, has great texture and beautiful green.

    I have purchased several portions of frog moss at different times from Eileen714 (from Bradford, PA) (search terrarium moss) on Ebay and could not have been happier with the entire transaction, fast shipping, healthy vibrant plants and very reasonable pricing for what I received (example: 2 pieces of moss that filled a gallon size ziplock bag for about $12.00 which included the shipping). She has become my go-to moss supplier.

    I had purchased "live moss" from a well know online frog/terrarium supply company and was grossly disappointed: arrive looking half dead, never bounced back, and eventually I had to replace it.
